My Chiropractic Story:

I had been having sciatic for over 25 years since a sports injury in my teens. Until last year I was able to work through it and could run regularly. However, over the last year, it had gotten so bad that just a few steps caused me to stop. After 12 treatments with Dr. Loper, he had me running almost pain free. I believe the combination of treatments, exercises, and motivation have contributed to these results.

Describe what conditions you had before receiving treatment.
Sciatic pain worse when I run. Occasional neck pain leading to headaches.

Describe the length of these conditions and how they affected your life.
Sciatic pain~25 years I have not been able to run for over a year because it has gotten worse. Neck/head pain~ probably 10-15 years. Had to take advil 3-4 times a week to relieve it.

Describe how you felt about your introduction and treatment here.
Hopeful

Describe how your condition responded to treatment, the conditions that have improved, and also any conditions other than what you came here for, that have gotten better.
Both problems have improved. I still am waiting to see how I respond to running which I have not done yet. I have worked up to walking and have been doing the daily exercises. I hope to be running by February. I have generally more spring and energy.

Describe how your improvement through chiropractic care has affected your life.
I feel that I can turn back the clock 5 years to get to where I won't be from a fitness standpoint.
